The ruling on a woman praying alone behind the rows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters, Umm Ahmad, is asking. She says: A woman prayed alone at the end of the row, where there was no one else in the prayer hall. Then a group of women entered and formed rows in front of her. Is she required to break her prayer and join them so that she is not alone behind the rows?

Answer:
It is permissible for a woman to pray alone behind the rows, based on the hadith: “I prayed with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and with me was a young boy and Umm Sulaym behind us. Umm Sulaym was behind us.” It is permissible for a woman to pray alone behind the rows. This is specific to the woman. Yes.
